The Invasion 4K 2007

This remake was haunted by numerous problems. It was postponed several times, cut, and at the end they even invited the Wachowski brothers to tweak the Hollywood debut of Oliver Hirschbigel (the author of the German Bunker).
The end result was a good and competent movie, which, of course, could have been better, but still a very good spectacle

In the lead roles is the smart and beautiful Nicole Kidman on hand with the devilishly charismatic Daniel Craig. They are assisted by Jeremy Northam and Jeffrey Wright.
The plot is familiar - some kind of contagion from outer space begins to invade the population and take over more and more people.

The movie is a paranoid parable about loneliness. About how, for the most part, the few solve nothing and are not heard, while danger threatens to destroy the planet. The action is shot perfectly, the paranoid state does not leave the viewer until the very last minutes. The narration, in some places, is crumpled and it seems that whole pieces of the plot just cut out of the picture, but it's not surprising when the movie is so long digging up completely different people to please the audience.

As a result, we got something between a tense sci-fi-political thriller and an action movie with horror elements. In any case, the movie is quite watchable and leaves a pleasant impression.

In general, it gathers not a few tense and quality moments to remember some things later, but it could have been much cooler....
Especially liked a small scene when Kidman has to get to the destination unnoticed without emotions and thus give up the idea of saving a small child from zombification by aliens.

And the whole thing, of course, is reminiscent of the old Carpenter movie They Live.
